Winter Wonderland

This Saturday turned out to be one of those perfect winter days. A little chilly but gorgeous weather and the sun was even out. The days are getting longer now which is a blessing. There's nothing more energy zapping than endless dark during those toughest winter months.

  Bella biking

Bella was over the moon at being able to stretch her legs and really run. Iceland has such a terrible attitude towards dogs that they are almost nowhere allowed to be off leash and there are only two designated dog areas in the city. Being able to go by bike is the best way to burn off some excess energy.

Bella loves to be able to pick up the pace and above is her 'aren't we going to keep at it??' position. She'll almost sit down, tense up and start whining at me for not being on the move. She's impatient like that. It used to annoy me at first but over the time I've realized that it's just her expressing excitement.

Bella's Blind Side

Focused and ready for whatever. Bella is truly my best outdoor partner. This summer I would like to take her biking in the country. More on that later!

  1. Isn't biking with Borders the best, if I don't go at a steady pace Magoo "tows" the bike which isn't fair on a wee 5.8kg dog so I have to match my pace to race along with her.

  2. I really love biking with her, Bella does the exact same thing! I need to go really fast to match her pace and I am always worried that she will get exhausted and slow down but it never happens! I'm impressed by how athletic Border Terriers seem to be as a breed.
